About: I have worked with dogs for 5 years. I have helped puppies adjust to new homes and people. I have also aided senior dogs with medications and other special requirements. I am usually always available all week, and on weekends. I have a part-time job, however it is easy to work around if needed for clients. I try to provide any type of care my clients' pets may require. Along with any additional requests that the clients may have to give.

“Alyssa is fabulous! She was very patient and loving with our crazy pups, spent ample time playing with and loving them, getting to know them. Very communicative and took great care of the house as well. Will definitely book again.”


“Our Hazel and Estes have a new buddy and we are so happy and grateful for Piper for taking such good care of them. Piper provided daily pictures that showed our puppies enjoying their time. We will definitely book again!”


About: I’ve always had family dogs and cats! Always helped with families pets, volunteered at animal shelters, and have used other walk/sitting apps before. Never met an animal I didn’t love! Full time student at UNMC, looking for part time care. Available for walks mostly in the evenings and on weekends, and available for sitting most of the time! I will look after your pets as if they were my own! I will treat each and every pet with respect and acknowledge their specific needs!
About: I’m a reliable, caring animal lover who treats every pet like family. I understand that pets are more than animals—they’re companions, and they deserve patience, attention, and lots of love while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, and I’m committed to giving owners peace of mind with dependable, loving care. Your furry family member will be in good hands with me! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I’m organized, dependable, and able to make time for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets the attention they need. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets doesn’t feel like a task—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I can adjust my schedule to meet a pet’s routine and make sure they receive consistent, loving care while their owners are away. I prefer caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and can stay in their normal routine. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or walks, playtime, affection, and any specific care they need, such as medication or following feeding schedules. I also keep the home tidy, provide updates to owners for peace of mind, and make it my priority to give pets loving, attentive care in a familiar environment where they feel safe and stress-free.
“My husband & I have used Rover in the past (taking our 3 dogs to the sitter for overnights), but it’s approaching 3, or so years now since doing so. We have been fortunate having family members watch our 3 Brittany’s in our home, finding they do much better in their own environment & it also eases my mind. While having a personal acquaintance confirmed 2 months in advance to be lined up for an overnight with them, 3 days before it blew up in our face. We were left scrambling, as our family was unavailable. So, I to Rover, searching for someone who would not only care for 3 dogs, but also commute 20-25 minutes, outside of the Lincoln city limits. Daryn even drove to our home, 2 days before to meet our trio/us & see where she’d be staying! She is such a friendly & sweet, young lady, not to mention, was wonderful with our dogs… they ALL loved her!! She was great about sending me photos, too! We will definitely rebook with Daryn and I will make sure to tell others about her! Thank you so much again, Daryn!”

About: I have grown up around and caring for LOTS of dogs, cats and all sorts of wild animals, and I currently work at an animal care center with all of the above!! I do have a full time job, but I can work in time around that schedule! I also have two rotating days off a week. I work rotating shifts of 7:30-4:00pm 7:45-4:25pm 9:45-6:15pm. Although I have three of my own very loving dogs, we often have other animals in our care so I am unable to provide boarding.
About: I have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of needs, including medically needy dogs and high-energy dogs that require extra exercise and attention. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, administering medications, and giving each dog the individualized care they need. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. My schedule allows me flexibility to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to make time for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, medications, and plenty of attention. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions with feeding, medications, exercise, and daily routines, I pay close attention to changes in behavior or health and make sure pets are comfortable, supervised, and cared for in a calm and loving environment.
About: I grew up on a farm taking care of puppies, dogs, kittens, sheep, etc! Now being out of my family’s house, I’m missing having pets around! I currently go to school at SCC Lincoln and am also an esthetician a couple days a week! I’m looking to do something meaningful with my free time! I’m very professional and will take care of your pet to the best of my abilities! I’m willing to make any accommodations to fit you & your pets needs whether that’s outside, in my home, or in yours!
About: I’ve had multiple dogs and a cat in my life. I love animals and I enjoy taking care of them. I am also looking to expand my resume! I am a student and am just looking to get into this part time. I love animals and want to help out if I can. I love taking care of other people and their animals, me and my family have done it for many many years and we love it!
“I would leave 10 Stars if I could! Elizabeth took amazing care of our three dogs and a cat! After meeting her for the first time I knew she was the person I could trust with my pets. She is professional in all respects. All the dogs reacted calmly when introduced to her. She goes above and beyond what is normally expected. My dogs are very active and require exercise and a lot of attention. Both of those conditionals were met with Elizabeth exercising them twice a day. She is trustworthy, caring, and followed our dog schedule perfectly. Elizabeth showed her ability to handle situations when ants invaded our house. We were able to rid the house of ants with the help of a neighbor and Elizabeth keeping the dogs clear of any toxic over spray. I am so thankful for her taking care of issues when they arise. Communications with Elizabeth were excellent as she was in contact everyday. Upon our return, we found our house clean and devoid of mountains of dog hair. It is so comforting to know you can leave the country and know that your pets are receiving the best care possible. I highly recommend Elizabeth for taking care of any pet.”

“Liz was great! She was quick to respond to messages and it was amazing that she was able to dog sit on such short notice! She came over the day before to meet Maverick and he liked her immediately! I will definitely be rebooking with Liz should the need arise.”

About: As a dedicated animal lover with over 15 years of experience caring for pets, I provide trustworthy, compassionate, and fun pet care services. I was raised sharing my life with dogs and cats since I was born, and developed a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. I have trained my own dogs in basic commands and am very good at giving pets oral medicine when/if needed. As a volunteer at the Humane Society, I've had the opportunity to work with cats and dogs, helping with daily care, socialization, laundry/cleaning, and enrichment activities. This experience has not only deepened my love for animals but also my skills in animal handling and care. I am an online student and have a pretty flexible schedule, being almost always available for walks, housesitting or visits and in-home boarding, entertainment and cuddling. AT THIS MOMENT I CAN ONLY TAKE CARE OF PETS IN YOUR HOUSE. IF THIS MESSAGE IS HERE, IT IS CURRENT. I care for pets in your home or mine, providing feeding, exercise, playtime, and lots of love. I can tailor my services to meet your pet's individual needs and ensure they feel comfortable and happy while you're away. I live in an appartment within 50 feet from a fenced dog park (it is the area right next to my building).

About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life! I also began pet sitting at a very young age. I’ve dealt with dogs and cats of ages that range from newborn to 15. I also have experience working in an animal boarding facility. I was tasked with taking care of 50 dogs and several cats at a time as well as cats and bunnies on occasion. I administered medication and meals that followed strict diets. I would also walk each pup daily (if required by owner). I have a love for all pups and I will always do whatever I can to ensure they are happy and taken care of! I work 10-3 on weekdays and either afternoons or evenings on weekends. Other than that I am usually free and can be very flexible! As of now, I am living in an apartment. There is a dog park nearby with plenty of room for pups to run and play.
About: I worked at an animal shelter and animal hospital for 5 years while in college and I have been pet sitting since the age of 17. As a pet owner myself I know how important it is to know that you have left your fur babies in good hands, you'll never have to worry about your pets while they're in my care. If you are to request my services you will have peace of mind that your pets will be well taken care of while you're away. I currently have open availability until approximately mid October including weekends and holidays. I'm available for overnight house sitting and walks/potty breaks throughout the day. I am available for walks and drop in visits and house sitting. I'll give you updates on how your fur babies are doing during our visit so you can have peace of mind that they are well taken care of while you're away.
About: I treat clients' homes and family members with utmost care and respect, and I love on my pet clients like they are my own. I have nearly a decade of professional sitting experience at all stages of the life cycle, from bottle feeding to end-of-life support. My availability opened up when my beloved cat, Hugo, passed in December 2025. He was my special big boy and my joy; I miss him every day! During the last year of his life, I managed his multiple major health conditions including diabetes, kidney failure, and congestive heart failure. He had chronic urinary issues for his entire life despite prescription diets and various intervention attempts, and thus I was always on the lookout for signs of UTI. My boy was anxious and became notorious at multiple veterinary clinics for getting agitated during his checkups. I am eternally grateful to every person who showed him love and gentleness when his behavior was challenging. I strive to show the same loving care to my clients with the promise that even "difficult" pets will be treated like my absolute favorite creature on earth. Depending on the level of care required, I am comfortable with meeting in person or virtually before the sit. My ability to give medication will vary by the relationship and administration method. I typically ask that I perform an on-site home visit before the sit with any pets needing insulin injections, oral (both pill and liquid) medications, or subcutaneous fluid. As a singer and gig worker, I ensure that flexibility is built into my schedule. I am frequently available during business hours and around holidays! Bringing a sense of security is critical in this work. I have one client who requested a short video of the door being locked each day. I will work with you and make every effort to let you know that your home and/or loved one is in good hands.
“Kara did a wonderful job watching our dog Luna in our home while we were out of town. She was very responsive, sending us daily updates and photos which we loved! And she went above and beyond to make Luna feel comfortable during some over night storms that came through. We will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Crete on Rover is $18.73 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 252 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Crete. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Crete walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Crete maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Crete choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Crete. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
